The curriculum

From your first wallet to a repeatable process

85 lessons, 10 modules, about 17 hours of reading. Work through them in order. Each lesson ends with a quiz, and the simulator is open the whole time.

How the course works. Lessons unlock in order: read, pass the quiz, and the next one opens. Task lessons are graded from what you actually do in the simulator. Each module ends with a timed exam, and the review queue brings back anything you got wrong. Reading works on a phone; the chart tasks are easier on a computer.

Create a free account to track progress, take the quizzes and unlock the paper-trading simulator. Modules 0 to 3 are free forever.
